165 R13 Tires

165VR13 PIRELLI CINTURATO™ CN36 – With the tall profile of a 165R13 or 165/80R13 tire, these Pirelli 165VR13 tires make the ideal radial alternative to bias ply tires like the 5.90-13, 6.00-13 or 5.60-13 on cars like Sunbeam Alpine and the Ford Lotus Cortina. These tires were eventually replaced by lower profile tires, the 185/70 R 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 being a popular option.

The CN36 marked a significant milestone as the first Pirelli road tire to integrate a steel belt, tailored for the emerging high-performance vehicles of the 1970s.

Originally introduced in the 185 R14 size for the Fiat Dino, the CN36 lineup grew over time to encompass 13″ tire options and those with a 70% profile.
